The Storey Litigation.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Another step for
ward in the settlement of the long pending
litigation over the estate of the late Wilbur
F. Storey was taken to-day. Judge Knick-
erbocker, in the probate court, admitted the
will of 1879 to record. By the terms of
this will the widow, Mrs. Eureka c. Story,
is granted the bulk of the property, includ-
Ing the Times newspaper. but is debarred
from again marrying. An appeal was al
lowed to the circuit court on behalf of An
son l.. Storey, brother of the dead editor.
The general impression is that the will pro-
bated to-day is to be taken from court to
court, as was the will of 1881, and that
fully year must elapse before final de-
ciSiOn can be had

Special to the Globe.
RIcHARDToN, Oak, April 1S-There
is considerable excitement here over the mys-

children. left town with Rev. Dietrich and
Henry Rien to look up location Diet.

that Hartwig was lost or drowned in the
Heart river, which was very high at the

the searching party. says that Dietrich.
when asked to 90 and look for the German,
refused and said that his wife was sick
and that they could not make him go.
Four of the party got out of the wagon
and told him he must go, and he started
with them. They went to Dietrch's house
first and got the front wheels and harness
belonging to the lost man, the horses being
at Alpert's. They then went to the river,
where Dietrich claims the party attempted
to cross and the water being too deep,
caused the wagon to come apart, the box
floating down the river. Dietrich then
took the party to a spot where he said the

He said that after following the raft until

La CROSSE, Wis, April 1s.--James
Craik. flour miller, has beed missing from
his boarding place since last Monday,
though his friends.only began to be seri-
ously alarmed yesterday, and gave notice to
the police last night. He was last seen at
midnight in all alley, near his boarding
place, by a llowboarder. AS he did not
come in that night it was supposed he had
gone to visit his relatives, especially as the
mill was temporarily shut down and Craik
had drawn $3.50 from the bank that day.
Letters were written to relatives in Winona
and elsewhere. and last night brother
came here, stating that James was not at
the home OF any relatives. An
alarming view was given the
case by the finding of Craik's pocket
book. empty and blood-stained, in lum-
Der pile. The only hope now entertained
is that he has not been murdered. This is
founded On the fact that he once before
disappeared for nearly two wears. Th e
missing man is 30 years old and unmarried
but is said to be engaged.

the ension Question.
Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, April 1S.-Department
Commander Griffin to-day issued an order
to all Grand Army posts in Wisconsin in
relation to circular emanating from the
office of the New York Tribune, in which
every post is called upon to take action on
each of five different propositions therein
submitted, respecting soldiers pensions and
pension legislation. He says that such ac-
tion not having the approval of the com.
mander-in-chief, all posts and comrades of
this department are cautioned against COM
plying with the requests contained in such
circular, or furnishing the information
thereby sought to be obtained, until ap-
proved by proper authority. Commander
Griffin says he does not question the good
purpose to be subServed by obtain
ing this information, and does not
doubt that it is designed to be used
in the interests of the Union
soldier; nevertheless, the questions submit.
ted are such as would tend to lead to dis
sensions among the members and might re-
suit injuriously to the posts. The Grand
Army of the Republic. he goes on to say,
by its representatives in national ercamp-
ment assembled, determines the policy
Wnlcn Snould govern the order Ill dealing
with these questions. and the subject is one
of such delcacy that it is safer for us to
let the questions be thus decided than for
each post to start fire in the rear which
might and probably would stampede the en-
tire command, He takes occasion. also.
to admonish the order to be very cautious
i'll yielding to requests of this character.
He says if it is proper that such action be
taken by the various posts it can be secured
by those seeking it on first making ap-
plication to national headquarters and
obtaining the proper authority. The
commander believes that in the present in
stance the inquiry is friendly in its char
acter. but he says it is springing upon the
order a project for which they may not be
prepared. and without complying with the
usage and custom of the order. The Grand
Army for time was not united upon these
questions. and posts were besought during
that time to yield to opportunities for
separate and independent action They
did so in many cases. and while this state
of affairs continued but little in the line of
pension legislation was accomplished. So
soon. however, as this division of sentiment
was eradicated, good results followed. and
will continue SO long as we remain unit as
to the kind of legislation which should be
enacted in the interest of the Union

The Chicago Boodiers.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-The branch Of the
criminal court presided over by Judge Tuley
was crowded this morning to note the pro-
ceedings against the indicted Cook county
officials and contractors. The states at
torney announced he would enter nolle
prosequi in the case against E. r. Brainerd
and others known as the ''stone contract"
for repairing the court house. The states
attorney said that fraud appeared to be so
manifest in this deal that the grand jury
had voted to indict. but after a thorough in
vestigation the state had no desire to press
the Indictment. The case against Nc
Garigle, Mcdonald, Schneider and Faber
was then called. and the counsel for the de-
fense entered motion to quash the indict-
ment and made long argumento on the mo-
ton. Judge Tuley sustained four of the
six counts of the Indictment and the de-

w WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Ihe supreme
court rendered the following:
The United States, plaintiff. vs. Baptiste
Lebris, certified to this court on Il division of
opinion between the judges of the circuit court
of the United States for the district of Min
nesola. This is an information against Le-
bris for introducing liquor into the Indian
country, and the question turned on the con-
struction to be given the term, ''the In
dian country." In the revised statutes, as
re-enacted, the provision of the old statutes
defining 1.-The Indian country was omitted,
although the term was used In several places
in the new statutes. The court to-day held
that the repeal of the provision does not
change of itself the meaning of the term, and
that it's construction should remain rs be-
fore unless contrary intention is plainly
manifested. The question asked by the lower
court. as to whether the liquor was intro
duced IN the Indian country, is therefore
answered in the affirmative. Opinion b.

Gen. Ruger. commander of the depart

agent of the Crow Creek reservation had
been authorized to call upon the comman-
dant at Fort Sully for military assistance at
any time when he considered it necessary.
Ithad been the intention Of the.government,
when President Cleveland's order closing
the reservation to settlement was issued, to
allow the settlers reasonable time to get
off without using force. BY so doing it was
hoped TO avoid any actual hardship to set
tiers. Gen. Ruger has heard nothing since
the moving of the troops on Sunday, but
does not anticipate any boOdshed. Many
of the settlers. he says, have willingly
obeyed the order and moved Off the reserva-
tionS, and the remaining few are not strong
enough TO make any resistance. unless aided
